Xenta Easy Docking Joystick Vma on 2040-parts.com
Miami, Florida, United States

Used, fully functioning, motor control joystick for boats. VMA. 2012.
Unit was installed inside the boat. The original idea conceived by Xentas was to replace the traditional control head and the rudder with a joystick that would have allowed to dock the craft with only one control system in a safe, simple and intuitive way.The Vessel Maneuvering Assistant (VMA) allows the pilot to perform any maneuver by moving the joystick in the chosen direction. Analogously, by rotating the knob of the joystick (clockwise or anticlockwise) the craft rotates around its axis; this implies that the pilot can concentrate on the most suitable maneuver, letting the system take care of how to activate the engines and the thrusters. With the aid of the integrated compass the system is able to perform all the maneuvers compensating automatically the effect of the wind and of the leeway drift. Moreover, the system is able to perform in a very simple way combined manuevers (i.e. rotoshifts). |

Chevy Volt will do 230mpg
Tue, 11 Aug 2009GM are claiming 230 mpg for the Chevy Volt The premise is that the vast majority of buyers for the Chevy Volt will do no more than 40 miles a day. Which just happens to be the range that the Volt has. So I suppose they could have worked out the cost of the electricity to fully charge the Volt, converted that in to the cost of petrol and come to the conclusion that it does 230mpg.
